  • The Weaver, The Rant, and The Really Grumpy Dog

    The Weaver, The Rant, and The Really Grumpy Dog
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode we talk of the gentle start to the day and how it set the tone for the morning. Rich shares his thoughts (and frustrations) about the greenwashing surrounding solar farms, while Fran catches us up on a very busy week of weaving ahead of an upcoming Christmas fair.

    We also share a few podcasts we’ve been enjoying recently, and of course, Archie the spaniel makes an appearance in his usual slightly grumpy way.

  • We're In a Bit of a Pickle

    We're In a Bit of a Pickle
    Nov 26 2025

    We start with a particularly sharp jar of pickled onions and quickly move into reminiscing about our childhood food traditions and the performance of Sunday Tea and memorable family dishes. We talk about World Television Day and the move from three fixed channels to democratized, on-demand viewing. We also check in on the allotment after the season's first major frost, exploring the rapid shift in the garden and our struggles with the 'no-dig' approach. Finally, we challenge ourselves with a taste test of some preserved goods, including pickled nasturtium seeds.
